In 2009, the Episcopal Church memorialized the Genesis Covenant, which is a national, ecumenical effort by religious communities to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from every facility they maintain by at least 50% within 10 years.
Most congregations find they save money when they implement the Genesis Covenant because they reduce their energy use. But the benefits go far beyond that. Community is built as people work together toward a common goal....

The problem with this is not that reducing greenhouse gasses is a noble endeavor, but that the Episcopal Church has become obcessed with political issues. MDG’s, greenhouse gasses, anti-racism (in an orginization that has essentially zero racism), abortion rights, birth control, Obamacare, etc., etc., etc. And to what point? GC is now more like the Democratic National Convention that the Democratic National Convention is!

Salus Sola Viridi = Salvation by going green alone.
David Keller is right: Those things (except abortion rights, birth control) are to be done in the Name of Jesus and for the glory of God. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will get thrown in, but likely not before the parousia when all things shall be made new.
